Forage maize yield and quality data in the NW of Spain (Galicia and Asturias)

Maize Cultivar characterization in the NW of Spain in Tabular data form., for 23 years in seven locations and corresponding to three different cultivars named 200,300,400. Production and quality variables: Dry Matter yield (kg MS/ha), Crude Protein yield (kg PB/ha) and Net energy for lactation yield (UFL/ha). Cultivar names first letter is "G" for Galicia locations and "A" for Asturias sites. <b>Variables</b><b>Description</b>Experimental sites (Altitude, m)Asturias: Barcia (25 m), Villaviciosa (10 m), Grado (50 m)Galicia: Ribadeo (43 m), Ordes (300 m), Deza (400 m), Sarria (520 m)Years2000-2022CultivarsAsturias: SE1-200, SE2-300, SE3-400Galicia: XU1-200, XU2-300, XU3-400<b>Weather data</b><br>Tmax (ºC)Average daily maximum air temperature from sowing to harvestTmin (ºC)Average daily minimum air temperature from sowing to harvestPrecipitation (mm)Total precipitation from sowing to harvestSolar radiation (MJ/m²)Total solar radiation from sowing to harvest<b>Soil data</b>^{<strong>2</strong>}<br>pH-log([H⁺])SOC (%)Soil organic carbon (%)PAWC (mm)Plant available water capacity (mm)<b>Important dates</b><br>Sowing dates (Julian days)Asturias: 133=12/05, 136=15/05, 151=30/05Galicia: 136=15/05, 151=30/05, 167=15/06Anthesis dates (Julian days)<br>Harvest dates (Julian days)Asturias: 263=19/09, 267=23/09, 287=13/10Galicia: 250=06/09, 262=18/09, 267=23/09Cycle length (Days)Number of days from sowing to harvest<b>Response variables</b><br>kg DM/haWhole plant dry matter yield at harvestUFL/haWhole plant net energy for lactation yield at harvestkg CP/haWhole plant crude protein yield at harvest<br>
